More About Cheese Making 
{Continued from page 376) 
turned and rubbed by bare hand daily. 
After about ten days here the curing may 
be hastened advantageously by bringing 
them up to a dryer, warmer room of about 
60 to 70 degrees temperature. If kept 
too warm the oil or “fat” will start on the 
cheese. If kept where cold (below 50 
degrees) too long, the curing is retarded 
and bad flavor apt to develop. 
Well my “story” seems to be drawing 
out longer than I intended, however, 
there are a few more little “hints.” 
Don’t use prepared “table salt”—it 
often contains too much starch. A good 
grade dairy salt is most reliable. And 
remember that “coloring” adds nothing 
but color—indeed many believe better 
cheese can be made without it. 
After having success with fresh m'ilk 
you can go a step further if required and 
make up some “night’s milk” with it. 
The night’s milk should have first been 
well “aired,” then cooled and kept cold 
all night, but warmed up before mixing 
morning’s milk with it. Indeed by use of 
ice and proper precautions milk may be 
kept for two or three days and still make 
good cheese when the process is managed 
by one of experience. 
When heating in pans on the stove 
as above suggested, the milk in the pans 
should not be heated higher than 85 to 
90 degrees. When heating the whey the 
temperature should not raise above 100 
to 110 degrees before pan is removed from 
stove and emptied back into the “vat.” 
If you like cheese and have the required 
milk, determine to-day that you will 
“make up a batch.” Don’t be a “fraid 
cat” as the kiddies say, but make ready 
everything, prepare a small amount of 
milk at first, and “wade in.”—H. W. B., 
Oneida, N. Y. 
“ What I thought was just sales talk 
about the De Laval Milker is 
the Absolute Truth” 
writes W. A. Shoemake, a De Laval Milker user of Dayton, Ohio. 
He says : 
"Having been termed the hardest and most contrary man to sell, I 
am sending you unsolicited a brief outline of my experience with a 
De Laval Milker. What was considered by me as sales talk, 1 find is 
the absolute truth. 
"First, it increases production, as you may see by copy of enclosed 
chart of my cattle for the past year, under very adverse conditions. 
(An increase of about 18% for the entire herd.) 
" Second, labor saving. It formerly took three to milk my herd; 
now one does it, and the actual saving for the year, after deducting 
the original cost of the machine plus the power and upkeep, is 
indeed very gratifying. 
“ Third, the satisfaction of owning such a perfect milker as the 
De Laval, and the good results obtained therefrom; the absence of 
any mechanical trouble in a year’s trial. My cattle are now free 
from udder trouble. I had three that were frequently affected with 
it when I was milking by hand. 
“ That a De Laval Milking Machine will pay for itself, as claimed by 
your Company, has been positively proven to me.” 
Let a De Laval pay for itself just as 
it did for these people 
“I have used a De Laval Milker for 
nearly two years and it has paid (or itself 
already, and is good (or ten years yet.” 
—Ralph Ste((es> Minnesota. 
** 1 have used a De Laval Milker (or a 
year and cannot praise it too highly, and 
(eel that it has paid (or itseK already.” 
—H. A. Laube, Washington. 
“ 1 think every dairyman who milks 15 
or more cows by hand pays (or a 
De Laval Milker each year in loss o( 
time and milk.”—R.E. Findling, Indiana. 
“ I( I couldn’t get another De Laval 
Milker I wouldn’t take double what my 
outfit cost me.”—Donald L. Bryson, 
Illinois. 
“It took some time to convince me 
that a De Laval Milker would pay on a 
15-cow dairy, but a(ter using one I have 
decided it was not * hot air’ 1 certainly 
couldn’t a((ord to milk by hand again.” 
—H. H. Coston, Maine. 
“I have had experience with every 
make o( milker, and the De Laval is 
absolutely the best, and in the long run 
the cheapest, just because it is prac¬ 
tical.”—C. W. McFerron, Veterinarian, 
Kentucky 
Thousands of other De Laval users 
are just as well satisfied as these, and 
you will be, too. Why not save time, 
money, and eliminate the drudgery of 
milking by installing a De Laval ? 
You can get a De Laval Milker on such 
easy terms that it will pay (or itself while 
you are usingit. Many De Laval owners 
are paying for their milker in this way. 
Often they find that the saving in money 
for extra help is more than enough to 
meet the monthly installments. 
“Barnyard Polo” and Good Farm 
Practice 
E. E. Roe 
I REMEMBER a year or so ago reading 
a laughable piece in American Agri 
culturist by Jared Van Wagenen about 
barnyard polo. Mr. Van Wagenen told 
how his father believed in saving every 
bit of farm manure, and how as a boy his 
father had made him put in a good many 
hours knocking the frozen manure loose 
in the barnyard. 
The job might have been good for the 
boy in developing his habits of work and 
responsibility. The best thing that could 
happen to the present generation would 
be some stiff courses in “barnyard polo.” 
But unfortunately, it was not much good 
as a farm practice and was in line with 
dozens of other useless tasks that my 
father and your father used to find on the 
farm in the days when labor was plentiful 
and cheap. 
The old boys certainly used to try to 
be very saving of manure, and yet many 
of them handled it so poorly that most of 
its value was lost. That frozen stuff in 
the barnyard, for instance, air-slacked and 
drained, was not worth the trouble of 
knocking it loose and hauling it on the 
land. 
Men have disagreed and quarreled 
about the problem of the best way of 
handling farm manure almost since the 
beginning of dairying. And yet I some¬ 
times think that we have made little prog¬ 
ress in getting the most value out of it, foi 
most of us still handle it in the same old 
wasteful way. Personally, I would about 
as soon dump the stuff in the creek as to 
let it stand and drain all winter in a leachy 
barnyard. Most of us, too, make such 
hard work of handling it. I have a neigh¬ 
bor who never fails to put it in piles in the 
lot and then later handle it all over again 
in order to spread it. Why not spread it 
from the machine or the wagon in the 
first place? There may be times and 
places when this practice of piling it in 
small piles is necessary, but I have never 
found many such times in my experience. 
Probably the ideal way to handle the 
manure is with a spreader, and so far as 
conditions permit, take it directly to the
